ABSTRACT:
A skate blade holder assembly for an ice skate has a substantially rigid reinforcement member extending longitudinally from a front mounting portion to a rear mounting portion of the skate blade holder assembly. The substantially rigid reinforcement member complements a neck portion of the skate blade holder, thereby forming a closed load-bearing frame or truss which greatly increases the rigidity and strength of the skate blade holder assembly. This increased rigidity of the skate blade holder assembly increases the durability of the skate blade, and promotes faster and more efficient force transfer between the skater and the ice. A redundant connector located adjacent the midpoint of the skate blade secures the skate blade to the supporting side walls of the longitudinal slot, thereby further increasing the rigidity of the skate blade and preventing and/or limiting warpage of the skate blade under extreme loading conditions.
